Thermocline: The middle layer of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir. In this layer, there is a rapid decrease in temperatures in a lake or reservoir.
Thermocline: Fairly thin zone in a lake that separates an upper warmer zone (epilimnion) from a lower colder zone (hypolimnion).
thermocline
Zone of rapid temperature and density change in a stratified water body; marks the transition zone between the epilimnion and the hypolimnion. Also known as the metalimnion.
total alkalinity ...
Thermocline The depth at which an inflection point occurs in a lake temperature profile.
Thiols Organic compounds which contain the "-SH" functional group. Also called mercaptans.
thermocline A transition layer of water in the ocean, with a steeper vertical temperature gradient than that found in the layers of ocean above and below.
thermocline a density gradient or pycnocline owed to changing temperatures; the planar thermocline is the imaginary plane at the depth where the rate of temperature change is the greatest in a vertical temperature profile ...
Also called the THERMOCLINE.
metastatic. Pertaining to the transfer of disease from one organ or part to another not directly connected with it.
methoxychlor (meth-OXY-klor).
Intersection between the thermocline (temperature discontinuity) or halocline (salinity discontinuity) and the surface.
internal tide A tidal wave propagating along a sharp density discontinuity, such as a thermocline, or in an area of gradually changing (vertically) density.
The middle layer of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir. In this layer there is a rapid decrease in temperature with depth. Also called thermocline.
